What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Advance Global Health Act," aims to consolidate reports from the Department of State's Bureau of Global Health Security and Diplomacy. It requires these reports to be combined into a single annual report submitted by September 30 each year. The consolidated report must be provided in a machine-searchable format and include all required information. However, certain reports are exempt from this consolidation process. Specifically, quarterly reports and those required before spending budget funds cannot be moved to the annual report.
